As soon as Abel arrived, Ashler noticed something strange about the soldiers who had just arrived. They were not the ones guarding the prince’s palace, yet they were standing there, holding swords as if ready to open the door and enter. It was as if they were waiting for something.e0ba98444a51a74f

His eyes were fixed 04ae0fb8c8 on the inside of 3e682ab4e2 the slightly open door a170326fff where Abel entered.

The surroundings became quiet. Abel heard Ashler’s voice faintly, but he didn’t know exactly what he said. Abel raised his head quietly.

So maybe he advised him to believe in the legend-like story that if you pray earnestly, you can go to the person you want to be with.
